Since I shot Rock'n with Satan, I know the flaws more than anyone - we shouldn't look past the scene where Billy Love is actually holding the microphone for the audio - and no, the scene doesn't take place in their recording studio.

I work with these guys in the movie and i flew in from Azerbijan to do a sceen (with dialogue (U-5)) and they cut it from the final reel. That is why the reviews not so good. How can a plot be told without my character saying to Billy in the comic book store "Don't give in to Satan."?

I was a production assistant on this movie and I just have to clear one thing up...The previous poster (Aloginius) is not telling the whole story! He claims to have "flown in from Azerbijan" just to shoot "a sceen" (sic)...Well, he was actually already in the States when shooting began! He was visiting relatives in NYC. He made no special trip just to be in the movie, I mean, how could he? We don't advertise our casting calls in Azerbijani papers! He showed up to one of our casting calls and rudely demanded a part, saying something about him "wreaking very havoc on American cinemas" We weren't impressed with his insolence, (or his second-rate Jim Carrey impersonations) but felt bad for the kid, so we gave him a small extra role in a comic book store where he says to Billy Love "Don't give in to Satan's foul temptations". The kid showed up to the shoot "drunk as a skunk in a pile of junk" and slurred every line beyond recognition...Then, to make matters worse, he yanked Billy Love's wig off in the middle of a crucial shot and put it on his own head and started yelling "I'm Billy Love right now! The new one!" So, needless to say we HAD to cut his scene! We had no choice! Believe me, nobody's missing anything!

Just wanted to clear that up!

Anyways, I loved the review Andrew did for 'Rock'n with Satan'...He hit the nail on the head as usual! Keep up the good work, Mr. Borntreger! The cast and crew all had a ball reading your site!

Good question! After working on this film, I asked the same questions everyday!

"Where's that guy from quality control?"

"Where's that girl from marketing?"

"Where'd the development team go?"

Sadly the answer to all three of those queries was a resounding "They quit!!!"

You see, this film was financed by an anonymous party who none of the cast, crew or director ever met! All that came through were cryptic communiques via telephone or certified mail...He wrote the script and produced the whole thing, and judging from the urgency of his hoarse telephone voice, this film was his "baby". The guy was a tenacious fellow who wanted to see his lifelong dream of making "Rock'n with Satan" (his "Magnum Opus" as he put it) come true...So there was no "pitch" as such...We were mailed a script and told to "get going".

And as far as any executives go, sane or insane, none had anything to do with this production...It all started in the head of a mysterious yet wealthy stranger who would stop at nothing to get this film made!

Side Note: Aside from being mysterious and wealthy, he was apparently also very lonely (read "horney")according to some of the female employees who fielded his phone calls...

I don't think it was Gene Simmons, cuz this guy had an annoyingly high-pitched, scratchy voice; very un-Simmons like...but funny you should mention that! The guy mailed us this ridiculous list of all of the songs that he wanted to appear in the film, and there were a few Kiss songs on it! I guess he didn't grasp copyright laws, cuz he said "Ah, just use the tunes without permission..." Luckily, we met up with a retired 80's hair band called 'Cecil Joystick' who ended up scoring the film...

Interesting. Hmmmm....what screechy voiced Lead singers might bitterly want to ruin KISS by using their songs illegally in a movie about Rock N' Roll? Looks like this is a job for Scoob and the Gang. (By which I mean the cartoon versions, not the Live Action abominations.) I guess this guy should become Public Enemy Number one ahead of Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden? ;O)
